Funds raised, science wing rises
by Naomi Judeman
Bethel has -hired not on-ly
a woman but also a
Christian-Jew named Che-ryl
Meltzer for the biblical
and theological studies
department.
Before coming, to Bethel
Melt zer did not consider a
woman teaching, biblical
studies unusual. "There
are a lot of women in the
field," she said. II is "truly
a viable option for a wo-man."
•
Meltzer is not the first
female Bible professor at
Bethel, but it has been
several years since a wo-man
has filled the posi-tion.
Meltzer strongly be-lieves
that "Ihis is what
God has prepared Me t

Cluing."
Meltzer is not Jewish by
birth. Her husband, Ed-mund

by birth and also a -Chris-tian.
When she married
she decided lo convert to
Judaism. Yet they are both

half the needed
funds are from individu-als
and half from business-es
and corporations.
Though some of these corn-mitments
are not yet defi-nitely
secured, "We think
we have enough to cover it
as of a little while ago,"
said Lissner.
Why a science addition,
and why now? Bethel's
new nursing program in-creases
the demands on Be-thel's
science facilities.
However, according to Liss-ner,
following the recent
additions to the FA and
LRC complexes, it is sim-ply
the science depart-ment's
turn for expansion.
Because of financial con-ditions,
this expansion
comes before new dorms.

Conceptually in the
works since 1973, specific
plans for the new science
wing began 18 months ago.
The addition, which will
look similar to Bethel's pre-sent
buildings, is sche-duled
to be completed in

letters I nmate's fight for life initiates request for financial assistance
Dear Editor,
I am a prisoner on death
row at the Arizona State
Prison and have been here
for three and a half years. I
have a rather unusual re-quest
to make of you.
I don't have any family
as I was raised in an or-phanage
because my par-ents
were killed in a car
accident when I was a ba-by.
I also don't have any
money to fight my death
penalty with and the re-quest
that I have is that
you run this letter in your
school newspaper for law
students or students of crim-inology
to read or just any-one
that might be interest-ed.
I need funds drastically
to fight my case and to get
an investigator who can
find things out for me that
I need to know for my
appeal. There is no doubt
that I am guilty of the
crime that that I am here
for, and in my appeal I am
not trying to get released
to the streets but just to
have my sentence reduced
to life in prison.
I do feel that since I am
guilty of my charges that I
should have to pay for
them in some way but I
don't happen to agree with
the death penalty. At least
I don't feel that the state
has the right to just take
people out and execute
them anymore than indi-viduals
have the right to
murder anyone.
In exchange for any help
that I might receive from
any students or anyone
that might want to help
me in this fight for my life
I would be willing to give
the details of my crime
and other crimes that I
have pulled in the past
and have done time for in
another state to maybe
help them with their class-es,
also what it is like to
live on death row and to
be in prison in general.
I would also answer any
questions they might have
and try to write any kind
of papers or essays that
might help them out. There
are a lot of things that go
on in prisons that people
don't know about that need
to be changed. There are
also a lot of things that I
feel lead a person to a life
of crime in the first place.
The only way we are
ever going to eliminate the
problem of the rising crime
rate in the United States is
to study its cause and then
prevent it, not by placing
people in prison after they
have committed the
crime and not be building
bigger and better prisons
and handing out stiffer pri-son
sentences.
Most prisons in Amer-ica
are just schools for
crime or places to turn
borderline criminals into
real animals to be released
upon the community at
the end of their sentences.
It also drives a lot of peo-ple
to totally insane who
might otherwise have been
good citizens and a profit
to society and they end up
in hospitals the rest of
their lives.
This is about all that I
have to offer and I know it
isn't much, but if it could
help or save one young
person from a life that
could end up in the gas
Call letters, DJs, radio frequency, open air waves, the
broadcast medium. KABY—Bethel's own answer to the
question, does your college have its own radio station?
Theoretically, yes, we do. Operationally, no, we don't.
KABY has been inoperable since last April when a
small blow-out on the control board caused the station
to prematurely shut down before the end of the semes-ter.
The station was to have been repaired during the
summer months but, due to a lack of staffing, and
funds, the station remains in its comatose state.
Last year's station manager relinquished authority
over the station in May when new media chiefs were
selected for this year. It was therefore the new station
manager's responsibility to have the control board
repaired, at least this was the understanding of' the
former station manager.
Plans for KABY were initiated in the early part of the
summer. Budget proposals were made, rejected, revised,
rejected and finally approved with cuts measured in the
thousands of dollars. Administration did not believe
that the station should receive the originally proposed
budget of $8500 until the station had proved its
worthiness.
KABY management disagreed, posing the question,
how can we prove ourselves if we don't have the money
with which to operate and implement new ideas? The
administration stood firm, reasoning that there was no
concrete KABY philosophy, no proof of substantial lis-tening
audience, the station's history was one of con-stant
in-house controversy, and KABY to date, did not
have a very good reputation.
The administration is willing to search for funds for
an organization if it is properly run. KABY had yet to
chamber then I think it
just might be worth it.
If anyone is interested

that it was a vehicle being used well. There is no
doubt that the radio station has potential for being a
good vehicle at Bethel, but potential is one thing, hard
fact another.
Following the resignation of the originally-chosen
general manager, the communication board is still
searching for a replacement. When chosen, his/her first
task will be to put the station back in operation. KABY
was given permanent (as opposed to probationary) sta-tus
last spring after a relatively brief discussion, and
subsequent vote, in senate. Thus, the new manager
need not fear ousting—manager, staff, radio station and
all.
We question the validity of the radio station's exist-ence.
We applaud the administration for witholding
funds from KABY. We firmly believe that an organiza-tion
such as KABY must put its very best foot forward
before it receives a push from behind to help it along.
Attempts—very strong ones—were made last year to
give KABY a name- due respect. Those at tempts stand
at the end of the line when one considers most recent
developments. The people of this community, particu-larly
the administration, do not owe KABY anything.
KABY must give of itself first before it merits our
respect, our listening ears and, most importantly, our
money.
KABY cannot be compared to the other media at
Bethel. It is, to begin with, not a written medium as are
the Roster, yearbook and the Clarion. KABY has not
obtained the status and respect of the other media. Its
constitutents are few in number, its wide-reaching
affects are slim and its overall effectiveness has yet to
be determined.
KABY has the right to be given a chance. Bethel's
expanding media course offerings require its existence.
A radio station is not without merit. Yet we feel that
until the station, its manager and its staff reach the
point where KABY can be called "a first class thing,"
further efforts should not be made to give simply
because it is requested. —jnb
al checks will be not be
accepted by the prison. Pos-tal
money orders only and
any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Larry E. Evans

Bethel's student senate
allocates students' money,
designated for activities,
to various organizations,
attempting to meet the
needs of the students.
The senate receives mon-ey
from the administra-tion
and from the student ac-tivities
fee covered in tui-tion.
This money is bro-ken
down into a budget,
allowing $3,000 for stu-dent
activities to fund dif-ferent
on-campus organi-zations
for the 1980-81
school year.
Certain factors affect the
senate's distribution of
these funds to different
organizations. First, accord-ing
to Dave Lucas, presi-dent
of the student senate,
the group should have
some sort of organized
body. Said Lucas, "To re-ceive
senate funds (the
group) must be a recog-nized,
on-campus organi-zation."
Senate allocates
money to organizations or
groups that have not been
given a set budget from
the administration, such
as Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship.
Senate also tends to give
more money to groups that
have been well-establish-ed
and proved themselves,
such as the cheerleaders,
said Lucas. Consequently,
new groups have a harder
time getting funds. "New-er
groups have nothing to
go on. They have no track

Instructor Dwight
"Butch" Maltby, a man
with a contagious case of
enthusiasm, is director
and coach of Bethel's new
forensics team. Forensics
refers to all competitive
speaking, including debate,
a team event, and individ-ual
events such as poetry
interpretation, persuasive
speaking and humorous
and informative speaking.
Last year Bethel's for-ensics
team did very well,
at one time ranked 23rd
in the nation. This year
the squad is young, with
only two returning partici-pants.
However, Maltby,
instructor Philip Rohler,
also a coach, and Teresa
Eliason, forensics T.A. and
returning participant,
hope that Bethel can main-tain
its good reputation,
"and maybe even surprise
some people," said Maltby.
The forensics team has
three primary goals this
season:
1. To make forensics
available to more students
by tailoring the program
to fit the needs and time
limitations of individual
students.
2.To help the team mem-bers
develop skills in anal-the
allocation of funds by
talking with their class
senators. Communicating
ideas to the senators gives
the individual a voice to
where his/her money is
spent.
The last thing the sen-ate
considers when distri-buting
money is the num-ber
of students that will
benefit. The senate tries to
do more funding for impor-tant

by Beth Stien
A spirited Scottish pres-byterian
preacher, two re-gal
and rival queens and a
host of Scottish earls will
reign in the Bethel College
theatre department for the
next seven weeks, as Dir-ector
Jeffrey S. Miller and
cast prepare for the fall
production, "Mary of Sco-tland."
The play, by Max-well
Anderson, presents
the bitter conflict between
two queens, Mary Stuart
of Scotland and Elizabeth
Tudor of England.
Miller, an instructor in
theatre arts, chose "Mary
of Scotland" because he
feels the department needs
to perform a period/clas-sical
drama. He anticipates
that the play will draw a
wide range of people both
inside and outside the Be-thel
community. "Mary of
Scotland" carries strong lit,
erary appeal as well as
historic appeal. "Some
may want to come just to
see the costumes!" said

Friday, Sept. 19, the Be-thel
College board of re-gents

Warren Eastlund, chair-man
of the board of re-gents,
welcomed new mem-bers
of the Bethel faculty,
administration and staff.
Gordon Linguist, vice chair-man
of the board of re-gents,
presented service
awards,, honoring those
who have been at Bethel
for 10 or more years.
Roy ("Doc") Dalton, pro-fessor
of history, was cited
for 30 years of service as

'Moral holy war'
invades politics
by John Bower
As the political rhetoric leading up to the 1980 presi-dential
and other major elections warms up, the Bethel
community will find its collective reputation at stake
and in fact challenged from a variety of perspectives. A
great loss of dignity and self-respect will occur if Bethel
becomes identified with the so-called "evangelical pol-itical
right" which has attempted to lock the evangelical
community into "moral holy war" over issues identified
to be critical from their perspective. Were this group
approaching political issues from an avowed self-interest
perspective the situation would be tolerable.
However, it is tragically represented that their political
priorities related to national morality are biblically
based.
As almost every reader will recall, the issues identi-fied
by the moral watch-dogs revolve around anti-pornography,
pro-prayer in public schools, anti-civil
rights to known homosexuals, pro-increased military
might, anti-ERA and anti-abortion. While it cannot be
denied that these issues are worthy of our concern and
discussion, it certainly can be demonstrated that they
are not the priority concerns of the people of God who
take scriptural mandates seriously. Also, there is no
clear lock-step position which emerges from the scrip-tures
in relationship to any of these issues. Yet, we are
being bombarded by a few major "evangelical leaders"
to have a single perspective on these issues if we are to
be considered "Bible-believing Christians."
My personal reaction to all this is deep concern, lead-ing
almost to a feeling of revulsion that some of our
most vocal "evangelical leaders" have selected the "big
six" issues noted above as having grown out of their
biblical understanding. It is not only the issues which
have been selected, but those which have been neg-lected
that both frighten and sadden me.
My challenge and request is that before voting or
speaking out on political issues, please examine the
whole counsel of God" as presented in the scriptures
After such an examination determine which particular
political or party platform makes the most sense in
terms of the common good. Even then, as we go to the
polls, our responsiblity as Christians is not necessarily
to vote for what might appear to be our own immediate
vested interests. Rather, our primary concern should be
that of our brother's and sisters, particularly those most
vulnerable and powerless in our social, economical, and
political system.

the September meeting of
the Board of Regents.

The name Eugene O'Neill
evokes images of plays, as
Director Briggs noted,
which reflects the chaotic
life of both him and his
family. Subtitled "a come-dy.
of recollection," the play
portrays O'Neill's family
not as it was, but as he
wished it had been. The
Miller family experiences
both pain and pleasure as
their adolescent son Ri-chard
struggles with grow-ing
pains at the threshold
of manhood. Nat Miller is
the father O'Neill never
had; Richard is O'Neill him-self.
Set in Connecticut on
the Fourth of July, 1906,
"Ah, Wilderness!" is O'Neill's
attempt to write a play
which was "true to the
spirit of the American large
small-town at the turn of
the century, " according to
O'Neill.
The hand-crafted care
with which the characters
are developed in "Ah, Wil-derness!"
creates life-like
individuals, nonabs tract
and believable characters
that O'Neill sought to pro-ject.
Richard, played by
John Bronen, is a restless
rebel "You can to have
your silly optimism...I'in
proud to be a cynic.") and
a starry-eyed romantic
who alternately quotes
revolutionary ideology and
love poetry with a zealous-ness
that only naivete can
Nat Miller, played by
Ben Nitz, is the "ideal"
father: tolerant, tender,
loving, and humorous.
Nitz's versa tile perfor-mance
was al its funniest
and finest as Nat squirms
and sweats in at tempting
to avoid discussing "the
facts of life" with Richard,
a duly that Nat's wife and
boss, Essie, has seen fit
and proper for him to car-ry
out.
Kate O'Toole is also very
convincing as Essie, the
well-meaning but meddling
mother and wife. She likes
to have a say in everything
that goes on around her, as
illustrated when she blurts
to her daughter Mildred,
"Sit up straight in your
chair! You want to grow
up a humpback'?"
Among other fine per-formances
was that of for-mer
Bethelite Al Arasim,
portraying "Uncle Sid", an
indolent but happily tol-erated
drunk trapped into
the role of jester in return
for acceptance and laugh-ter.
At the dinner table,
Sid comments to Nat (as
he tips the bowl to his
lips), "Think of the hours
wasted eating soup!" .
Richard Rees, technical
director and instructor of
theatre arts at Bethel, has
designed the sets and cos-tumes
for "Ah, Wilder-ness!"
"Ah, Wilderness!" is a
play to relax with and to
remember. It provides a
pleasant journey into the
mirth and folly of a yeste-ryear
that never quite was
except in O'Neill's senti-mental
"pipe-dream." The
amusing follies of youth
and middle age in ''Ah,
Wilderness!" offer a cozy
and refreshing evening of
drama at the Park Square

Gusties' offense takes Royals
By Phil Almeroth
The Bethel Royals foot-ball
team lost its third
straight game Saturday 35-
21 to the Gusties of Gus-tavus
Adolphus. The Roy-als
were in the game until
midway through the sec-ond
quarter before turn-overs
and a strong offen-sive
display by Gustavus
sealed the Royals fate.
After the Gusties had
moved out to a quick 10-0
lead, the Bethel offense got
moving. Jim Anderstrom,
who had four passes inter-cepted,
was passing well
on this drive. Fine catches
by Ken Cooper, last week's
offensive player of the
week, and Rich Graves had
helped keep the drive go-ing.
With the ball on the Gus-ties
11-yard line, Ander-strom
hit Pete Kramka with
a pass in the end zone. The
tight end hauled it in, and
Paul Lindberg's conversion
made the score 10-7. But
the Royal defense devel-oped
some holes, and by
halftime Gustavus had
raised the score to 19-7.
The defense line played
a good game, but as a whole
the team seemed to play
with some apprehension,"
By Tim Larson
"The team is really start-ing
to come together," said
Coach Mark Leigh follow-ing
the Bethel soccer team's
1-1 tie with Augsburg here
last Saturday. "Everyone
did well and I was very
pleased."
After . getting a feel for
the game .and the muddy
field during the opening
minutes, the Royals
charged ahead. They went
after the ball hard, play-ing
very aggressively and
scoring midway through
the firSt half. Mark John-son
scored on a good shot,
assisted by Greg Held.
Augsburg got a goal to-wards
the end of the game
on a deflection. Goalie Bo
Cedersjo had a hand on a
bouncing shot from just
inside the penalty box. but
it hit the far post and
bounced back into the
goal. .
Bethel worked hard for
a goal near the end but
could not put one past the
strong Augsburg goalie.
Coach Leigh said, "It was
hard to finish off a ball
under these conditions; we
kept the pressure on, but
time just ran out on us."
according to Head Coach
Dud Lutton. "By that I
mean that everyone knew
what to do, but it's just a
question of letting go, let-ting
it all out on the field.
Right now we are at the
point where we have to
take the positive things
that we see and build on
them, and take the nega-tive
aspects, point them
out, and then work on
changing them. This week
we saw improvements in
the offense. There was on-ly
one missed assignment
the whole game, and Steve
Doten did a very good job
of backing up Jimmy An-derstrom."
Doten came in the game
in the second half and dir-ected
two Bethel scoring
drives after Gustavus had
stretched its lead to 35-7.
The first Doten-led drive
culiminated with a one-yard
plunge by fullback
Brad Flater. Doten himself
scored the final Royal TD
on an excellent 20-yard
run.
The Bethel offense piled
up 326 total yards but
could not find the end zone
often enough. The defense,
which had held up under
constant pressure from
Jon Fredrickson, junior,
stated that he was "glad to
be part of such a helping
team, not critical like some
other teams."
The Royals dominated
St. Mary's last Wednes-day,
outshooting them 32-
8, but came up short in a
disappointing 2-1 loss.
Leigh said, "It is always
disappointing to lose a

Funds raised, science wing rises

Bethel has -hired not on-ly
a woman but also a
Christian-Jew named Che-ryl
Meltzer for the biblical
and theological studies
department.
Before coming, to Bethel
Melt zer did not consider a
woman teaching, biblical
studies unusual. "There
are a lot of women in the
field," she said. II is "truly
a viable option for a wo-man."
•
Meltzer is not the first
female Bible professor at
Bethel, but it has been
several years since a wo-man
has filled the posi-tion.
Meltzer strongly be-lieves
that "Ihis is what

half the needed

and half from business-es

Though some of these corn-mitments
are not yet defi-nitely
secured, "We think
we have enough to cover it
as of a little while ago,"
said Lissner.
Why a science addition,
and why now? Bethel's
new nursing program in-creases
the demands on Be-thel's
science facilities.
However, according to Liss-ner,
following the recent
additions to the FA and
LRC complexes, it is sim-ply
the science depart-ment's
turn for expansion.
Because of financial con-ditions,
this expansion
comes before new dorms.

letters I nmate's fight for life initiates request for financial assistance
Dear Editor,
I am a prisoner on death
row at the Arizona State
Prison and have been here
for three and a half years. I
have a rather unusual re-quest
to make of you.
I don't have any family
as I was raised in an or-phanage
because my par-ents
were killed in a car
accident when I was a ba-by.
I also don't have any
money to fight my death
penalty with and the re-quest
that I have is that
you run this letter in your
school newspaper for law
students or students of crim-inology
to read or just any-one
that might be interest-ed.
I need funds drastically
to fight my case and to get
an investigator who can
find things out for me that
I need to know for my
appeal. There is no doubt
that I am guilty of the
crime that that I am here
for, and in my appeal I am
not trying to get released
to the streets but just to
have my sentence reduced
to life in prison.
I do feel that since I am
guilty of my charges that I
should have to pay for
them in some way but I
don't happen to agree with
the death penalty. At least
I don't feel that the state
has the right to just take
people out and execute
them anymore than indi-viduals
have the right to
murder anyone.
In exchange for any help
that I might receive from
any students or anyone
that might want to help
me in this fight for my life
I would be willing to give
the details of my crime
and other crimes that I
have pulled in the past
and have done time for in
another state to maybe
help them with their class-es,
also what it is like to
live on death row and to
be in prison in general.
I would also answer any
questions they might have
and try to write any kind
of papers or essays that
might help them out. There
are a lot of things that go
on in prisons that people
don't know about that need
to be changed. There are
also a lot of things that I
feel lead a person to a life
of crime in the first place.
The only way we are
ever going to eliminate the
problem of the rising crime
rate in the United States is
to study its cause and then
prevent it, not by placing
people in prison after they
have committed the
crime and not be building
bigger and better prisons
and handing out stiffer pri-son
sentences.
Most prisons in Amer-ica
are just schools for
crime or places to turn
borderline criminals into
real animals to be released
upon the community at
the end of their sentences.
It also drives a lot of peo-ple
to totally insane who
might otherwise have been
good citizens and a profit
to society and they end up
in hospitals the rest of
their lives.
This is about all that I
have to offer and I know it
isn't much, but if it could
help or save one young
person from a life that
could end up in the gas
Call letters, DJs, radio frequency, open air waves, the
broadcast medium. KABY—Bethel's own answer to the
question, does your college have its own radio station?
Theoretically, yes, we do. Operationally, no, we don't.
KABY has been inoperable since last April when a
small blow-out on the control board caused the station
to prematurely shut down before the end of the semes-ter.
The station was to have been repaired during the
summer months but, due to a lack of staffing, and
funds, the station remains in its comatose state.
Last year's station manager relinquished authority
over the station in May when new media chiefs were
selected for this year. It was therefore the new station
manager's responsibility to have the control board
repaired, at least this was the understanding of' the
former station manager.
Plans for KABY were initiated in the early part of the
summer. Budget proposals were made, rejected, revised,
rejected and finally approved with cuts measured in the
thousands of dollars. Administration did not believe
that the station should receive the originally proposed
budget of $8500 until the station had proved its
worthiness.
KABY management disagreed, posing the question,
how can we prove ourselves if we don't have the money
with which to operate and implement new ideas? The
administration stood firm, reasoning that there was no
concrete KABY philosophy, no proof of substantial lis-tening
audience, the station's history was one of con-stant
in-house controversy, and KABY to date, did not
have a very good reputation.
The administration is willing to search for funds for
an organization if it is properly run. KABY had yet to
chamber then I think it
just might be worth it.
If anyone is interested

that it was a vehicle being used well. There is no
doubt that the radio station has potential for being a
good vehicle at Bethel, but potential is one thing, hard
fact another.
Following the resignation of the originally-chosen
general manager, the communication board is still
searching for a replacement. When chosen, his/her first
task will be to put the station back in operation. KABY
was given permanent (as opposed to probationary) sta-tus
last spring after a relatively brief discussion, and
subsequent vote, in senate. Thus, the new manager
need not fear ousting—manager, staff, radio station and
all.
We question the validity of the radio station's exist-ence.
We applaud the administration for witholding
funds from KABY. We firmly believe that an organiza-tion
such as KABY must put its very best foot forward
before it receives a push from behind to help it along.
Attempts—very strong ones—were made last year to
give KABY a name- due respect. Those at tempts stand
at the end of the line when one considers most recent
developments. The people of this community, particu-larly
the administration, do not owe KABY anything.
KABY must give of itself first before it merits our
respect, our listening ears and, most importantly, our
money.
KABY cannot be compared to the other media at
Bethel. It is, to begin with, not a written medium as are
the Roster, yearbook and the Clarion. KABY has not
obtained the status and respect of the other media. Its
constitutents are few in number, its wide-reaching
affects are slim and its overall effectiveness has yet to
be determined.
KABY has the right to be given a chance. Bethel's
expanding media course offerings require its existence.
A radio station is not without merit. Yet we feel that
until the station, its manager and its staff reach the
point where KABY can be called "a first class thing,"
further efforts should not be made to give simply
because it is requested. —jnb
al checks will be not be
accepted by the prison. Pos-tal
money orders only and
any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Larry E. Evans

Bethel's student senate
allocates students' money,
designated for activities,
to various organizations,
attempting to meet the
needs of the students.
The senate receives mon-ey
from the administra-tion
and from the student ac-tivities
fee covered in tui-tion.
This money is bro-ken
down into a budget,
allowing $3,000 for stu-dent
activities to fund dif-ferent
on-campus organi-zations
for the 1980-81
school year.
Certain factors affect the
senate's distribution of
these funds to different
organizations. First, accord-ing
to Dave Lucas, presi-dent
of the student senate,
the group should have
some sort of organized
body. Said Lucas, "To re-ceive
senate funds (the
group) must be a recog-nized,
on-campus organi-zation."
Senate allocates
money to organizations or
groups that have not been
given a set budget from
the administration, such
as Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship.
Senate also tends to give
more money to groups that
have been well-establish-ed
and proved themselves,
such as the cheerleaders,
said Lucas. Consequently,
new groups have a harder
time getting funds. "New-er
groups have nothing to
go on. They have no track

Instructor Dwight
"Butch" Maltby, a man
with a contagious case of
enthusiasm, is director
and coach of Bethel's new
forensics team. Forensics
refers to all competitive
speaking, including debate,
a team event, and individ-ual
events such as poetry
interpretation, persuasive
speaking and humorous
and informative speaking.
Last year Bethel's for-ensics
team did very well,
at one time ranked 23rd
in the nation. This year
the squad is young, with
only two returning partici-pants.
However, Maltby,
instructor Philip Rohler,
also a coach, and Teresa
Eliason, forensics T.A. and
returning participant,
hope that Bethel can main-tain
its good reputation,
"and maybe even surprise
some people," said Maltby.
The forensics team has
three primary goals this
season:
1. To make forensics
available to more students
by tailoring the program
to fit the needs and time
limitations of individual
students.
2.To help the team mem-bers
develop skills in anal-the
allocation of funds by
talking with their class
senators. Communicating
ideas to the senators gives
the individual a voice to
where his/her money is
spent.
The last thing the sen-ate
considers when distri-buting
money is the num-ber
of students that will
benefit. The senate tries to
do more funding for impor-tant

A spirited Scottish pres-byterian
preacher, two re-gal
and rival queens and a
host of Scottish earls will
reign in the Bethel College
theatre department for the
next seven weeks, as Dir-ector
Jeffrey S. Miller and
cast prepare for the fall
production, "Mary of Sco-tland."
The play, by Max-well
Anderson, presents
the bitter conflict between
two queens, Mary Stuart
of Scotland and Elizabeth
Tudor of England.
Miller, an instructor in
theatre arts, chose "Mary
of Scotland" because he
feels the department needs
to perform a period/clas-sical
drama. He anticipates
that the play will draw a
wide range of people both
inside and outside the Be-thel
community. "Mary of
Scotland" carries strong lit,
erary appeal as well as
historic appeal. "Some
may want to come just to

'Moral holy war'
invades politics
by John Bower
As the political rhetoric leading up to the 1980 presi-dential
and other major elections warms up, the Bethel
community will find its collective reputation at stake
and in fact challenged from a variety of perspectives. A
great loss of dignity and self-respect will occur if Bethel
becomes identified with the so-called "evangelical pol-itical
right" which has attempted to lock the evangelical
community into "moral holy war" over issues identified
to be critical from their perspective. Were this group
approaching political issues from an avowed self-interest
perspective the situation would be tolerable.
However, it is tragically represented that their political
priorities related to national morality are biblically
based.
As almost every reader will recall, the issues identi-fied
by the moral watch-dogs revolve around anti-pornography,
pro-prayer in public schools, anti-civil
rights to known homosexuals, pro-increased military
might, anti-ERA and anti-abortion. While it cannot be
denied that these issues are worthy of our concern and
discussion, it certainly can be demonstrated that they
are not the priority concerns of the people of God who
take scriptural mandates seriously. Also, there is no
clear lock-step position which emerges from the scrip-tures
in relationship to any of these issues. Yet, we are
being bombarded by a few major "evangelical leaders"
to have a single perspective on these issues if we are to
be considered "Bible-believing Christians."
My personal reaction to all this is deep concern, lead-ing
almost to a feeling of revulsion that some of our
most vocal "evangelical leaders" have selected the "big
six" issues noted above as having grown out of their
biblical understanding. It is not only the issues which
have been selected, but those which have been neg-lected
that both frighten and sadden me.
My challenge and request is that before voting or
speaking out on political issues, please examine the
whole counsel of God" as presented in the scriptures
After such an examination determine which particular
political or party platform makes the most sense in
terms of the common good. Even then, as we go to the
polls, our responsiblity as Christians is not necessarily
to vote for what might appear to be our own immediate
vested interests. Rather, our primary concern should be
that of our brother's and sisters, particularly those most
vulnerable and powerless in our social, economical, and
political system.

The name Eugene O'Neill
evokes images of plays, as
Director Briggs noted,
which reflects the chaotic
life of both him and his
family. Subtitled "a come-dy.
of recollection," the play
portrays O'Neill's family
not as it was, but as he
wished it had been. The
Miller family experiences
both pain and pleasure as
their adolescent son Ri-chard
struggles with grow-ing
pains at the threshold
of manhood. Nat Miller is
the father O'Neill never
had; Richard is O'Neill him-self.
Set in Connecticut on
the Fourth of July, 1906,
"Ah, Wilderness!" is O'Neill's
attempt to write a play
which was "true to the
spirit of the American large
small-town at the turn of
the century, " according to
O'Neill.
The hand-crafted care
with which the characters
are developed in "Ah, Wil-derness!"
creates life-like
individuals, nonabs tract
and believable characters
that O'Neill sought to pro-ject.
Richard, played by
John Bronen, is a restless
rebel "You can to have
your silly optimism...I'in
proud to be a cynic.") and
a starry-eyed romantic
who alternately quotes
revolutionary ideology and
love poetry with a zealous-ness
that only naivete can
Nat Miller, played by
Ben Nitz, is the "ideal"
father: tolerant, tender,
loving, and humorous.
Nitz's versa tile perfor-mance
was al its funniest
and finest as Nat squirms
and sweats in at tempting
to avoid discussing "the
facts of life" with Richard,
a duly that Nat's wife and
boss, Essie, has seen fit
and proper for him to car-ry
out.
Kate O'Toole is also very
convincing as Essie, the
well-meaning but meddling
mother and wife. She likes
to have a say in everything
that goes on around her, as
illustrated when she blurts
to her daughter Mildred,
"Sit up straight in your
chair! You want to grow
up a humpback'?"
Among other fine per-formances
was that of for-mer
Bethelite Al Arasim,
portraying "Uncle Sid", an
indolent but happily tol-erated
drunk trapped into
the role of jester in return
for acceptance and laugh-ter.
At the dinner table,
Sid comments to Nat (as
he tips the bowl to his
lips), "Think of the hours
wasted eating soup!" .
Richard Rees, technical
director and instructor of
theatre arts at Bethel, has
designed the sets and cos-tumes
for "Ah, Wilder-ness!"
"Ah, Wilderness!" is a
play to relax with and to
remember. It provides a
pleasant journey into the
mirth and folly of a yeste-ryear
that never quite was
except in O'Neill's senti-mental
"pipe-dream." The
amusing follies of youth
and middle age in ''Ah,
Wilderness!" offer a cozy
and refreshing evening of
drama at the Park Square

Gusties' offense takes Royals
By Phil Almeroth
The Bethel Royals foot-ball
team lost its third
straight game Saturday 35-
21 to the Gusties of Gus-tavus
Adolphus. The Roy-als
were in the game until
midway through the sec-ond
quarter before turn-overs
and a strong offen-sive
display by Gustavus
sealed the Royals fate.
After the Gusties had
moved out to a quick 10-0
lead, the Bethel offense got
moving. Jim Anderstrom,
who had four passes inter-cepted,
was passing well
on this drive. Fine catches
by Ken Cooper, last week's
offensive player of the
week, and Rich Graves had
helped keep the drive go-ing.
With the ball on the Gus-ties
11-yard line, Ander-strom
hit Pete Kramka with
a pass in the end zone. The
tight end hauled it in, and
Paul Lindberg's conversion
made the score 10-7. But
the Royal defense devel-oped
some holes, and by
halftime Gustavus had
raised the score to 19-7.
The defense line played
a good game, but as a whole
the team seemed to play
with some apprehension,"
By Tim Larson
"The team is really start-ing
to come together," said
Coach Mark Leigh follow-ing
the Bethel soccer team's
1-1 tie with Augsburg here
last Saturday. "Everyone
did well and I was very
pleased."
After . getting a feel for
the game .and the muddy
field during the opening
minutes, the Royals
charged ahead. They went
after the ball hard, play-ing
very aggressively and
scoring midway through
the firSt half. Mark John-son
scored on a good shot,
assisted by Greg Held.
Augsburg got a goal to-wards
the end of the game
on a deflection. Goalie Bo
Cedersjo had a hand on a
bouncing shot from just
inside the penalty box. but
it hit the far post and
bounced back into the
goal. .
Bethel worked hard for
a goal near the end but
could not put one past the
strong Augsburg goalie.
Coach Leigh said, "It was
hard to finish off a ball
under these conditions; we
kept the pressure on, but
time just ran out on us."
according to Head Coach
Dud Lutton. "By that I
mean that everyone knew
what to do, but it's just a
question of letting go, let-ting
it all out on the field.
Right now we are at the
point where we have to
take the positive things
that we see and build on
them, and take the nega-tive
aspects, point them
out, and then work on
changing them. This week
we saw improvements in
the offense. There was on-ly
one missed assignment
the whole game, and Steve
Doten did a very good job
of backing up Jimmy An-derstrom."
Doten came in the game
in the second half and dir-ected
two Bethel scoring
drives after Gustavus had

culiminated with a one-yard
plunge by fullback
Brad Flater. Doten himself
scored the final Royal TD
on an excellent 20-yard
run.
The Bethel offense piled
up 326 total yards but
could not find the end zone
often enough. The defense,
which had held up under
constant pressure from
Jon Fredrickson, junior,
stated that he was "glad to
be part of such a helping
team, not critical like some
other teams."
The Royals dominated
St. Mary's last Wednes-day,
outshooting them 32-
8, but came up short in a
disappointing 2-1 loss.

The men's cross-coun-try
team had a disappoint-ing
day last Friday in Du-luth.
The Royals managed
to squeeze by St. Scholas-tica
but five other teams
were ahead of them.
Michigan Technical
won the meet with a total
of 52 points. Close behind
were River Falls, Universi-ty
of Minnesota—Duluth,
Bemidji, and Superior. Cap-tain
Brent Friesen said,
"We are just not in the
same class as they are. All
the other teams are fairly
good and we were outclass-ed."
Despite the team score,
the Royals did come home
with good news. Almost

Coach Cindy Book predict-ed,
"I think we'll hold our
own. We are going to play
our game, nobody else's."
"Of 12 people we brought,
every single person contri-buted.
Everyone gave 100
per cent. We are well-bal-anced
and have enough
depth on the bench," com-mented
Coach Book of the
Bemidji Invitational last
weekend.
Bethel claimed victory
in the consolation round,
defeating University of
Minnesota-Morris in a
close final match. The Roy-als
finished fifth in the
overall standings.
Friday the Royals play-ed
Macalester and Moor-head;
losing to both, they
went into the consolation
round.
Saturday Bethel sound-ly
defeated Northwestern,
and played a close and
victorious match against
Morris. The final match of
the tournament was again
with Morris. First Bethel
lost 11-15, then came back
beating Morris twice, 15-

them the consolation title.
